When can I start processing payments?
Once you have completed your BlueSnap Setup form, the application is sent to BlueSnap to begin the underwriting process. The merchant account setup can take 3 - 5 business days to be completed. Once your merchant account has been approved for processing, we will issue a test payment and refund to confirm. Once confirmed, you will receive an email notification from payments@regpacks.com. You will be able to begin processing payments at any time.
What are my processing rates?
Upon joining Regpack, your sales representative will quote and confirm your credit card and electronic check processing rates. To receive confirmation of these rates, please email payments@regpacks.com. Your rates are also listed in the Terms and Conditions in your Regpack account.
When will I receive the deposits from my sales?
When completing your BlueSnap Setup form, you are given the option to receive your funds on a Daily, Weekly or Monthly payout schedule. The option you select will be the frequency in which you will receive the deposits for your sales.

Why am I unable to issue a refund due to insufficient funds, when I have sufficient funds in my bank account?
Unfortunately due to Covid-19, BlueSnap is not allowing accounts to go into the negative for risk purposes. This means that with each refund request with insufficient merchant account funds, we will need to provide you with a wire link to send the funds to BlueSnap to fund your merchant account in order to cover the refunds. The following wire link can be used to fund your merchant account. To complete the payment, please enter the amount you want to transfer and then complete the wire. After the transfer is completed, please send the payments team at payments@regpacks.com the reference number, MID, amount, and proof of payment which they will then give to BlueSnap to credit your merchant account. They will also set a refund reserve in the wire amount to ensure that the funds you send are applied to your refund reserve.
If you'd prefer, BlueSnap can also debit the account on file for the funds needed to issue these refunds; they can debit the merchant account in any amount requested. Please note that the direct debit of your account can take up to 5 business days to clear and there is a $20 direct debit fee to do this. If the refunds need to be issued sooner, you will want to send a wire.
The payments team can also set up a refund reserve on your account. Refund reserves are a set amount of funds that remain in the merchant account to cover refunds if needed. You choose the amount, and the amount can be adjusted at any time. Once the reserve is set, incoming sales funnel to the reserve until the target amount is met. Subsequent sales are paid out, and the reserve is replenished with incoming sales when depleted by refunds. If you'd like your reserve paid out to you, we can set the reserve amount at $0 and any unused funds would be sent in your next scheduled payout.
